The WP Job Manager Application Deadline Addon is an official extension for the WP Job Manager plugin. This addon allows job listings to include application deadlines, making it possible for employers to set specific time frames for job applicants. This helps to manage the timing of job openings and ensure that applications are submitted before the specified deadline.
Key Features:
- Set an Application Deadline: Employers can specify a date and time by which applications for a job posting must be submitted.
- Job Listings Visibility: Jobs that are past their application deadline can automatically be marked as closed or expired, indicating to job seekers that the position is no longer available.
- Countdown Display: A countdown timer can be displayed on the job listing page, showing how much time is left before the deadline.
- Email Notifications: The addon may send notifications to job seekers and employers, reminding them of the deadline or notifying when it has passed.
- Customizable Messages: Customize the message displayed when the deadline is over, so applicants know they can no longer apply.
How It Works:
- Job Creation: While creating or editing a job listing, the employer can set a specific deadline date and time.
- Expiry Behavior: After the deadline passes, the job listing can either disappear from the public view or be marked as "closed," depending on the settings chosen.
- Frontend: Applicants see the countdown or deadline information when viewing job details.
Use Cases:
- Limited-Time Jobs: Perfect for jobs that are only available for a short period.
- Seasonal or Contract Work: Useful for roles that require a specific application period.
- Improving Urgency: Encourages job seekers to apply quickly before the application window closes.
